Sheffield Library seeking interest in story hour, book club

The Sheffield Public Library will host a weekly story hour for children ages 3 to 5 during the months of March and April.

A specific day and time will be set after registration.

Those interested in registering their child should call librarian Sue Lanxon at (815) 454-2628 or (815) 454-2592.

In addition, the library would like to start a monthly book club.

Interested adults should call either phone number listed above. Any feedback regarding either of these projects would be appreciated by library staff.

The library has recently purchased three new laptops for public use. The purchase was made possible by donations from the Conrad Hewitt family, the Sheffield Pride Organization, and the Memorial Fund at the library.

All of the laptops have Microsoft Office, wireless Internet access, and printing capabilities.

New books continue to be added to the library collection. Book titles the library does not have can be obtained through the RAILS interlibrary loan program.

Audio books can also be ordered for patron use.

Library hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, 9 to 6 on Wednesday, 9 to 1 on Friday, and 9 to noon on Saturday. The library is closed on Thursdays.
